hey i need help on How much to water seedlings and how often,
and i need to know if 3 26watt cfls will work for seedlings-apporx. 6inch plants, which at that point i will transport them outside.

any help PLEASE,

had them germing and they had tap root at about 1/4 inch some a lil smaller but i planted em and 3 poped soil OVER NIGHT! and the others didnt have tap roots so i just plants them in soil straight, there all in one big rectagular plastic case filled with soil and about 3-4inchs apart from each other, i want to know everything i need to know, becuz my last 2 died, and 1 curled up brown(suspected heat? or too close to light?) and the other drooped its leafs down(suspected over watering?) i dont know much about growing but i need to just know how much water step by step and how often i was thinking roughly 1 tbsp daily, each plant, until week 1 is over and then 2 tbsp every 2 days ? any good? i have no clue..

with seedling u water once about every 2 to 3 days depending on heat and air circulation u dont want the soil to dry up but u dont want to drown the small plants eithe since they only have the tap root/small root structure just give them about a cup of water every 2 days and I think u will be safe (per plant) but u dont want to grow more than one plant per container cause the roots will intertwine and then u cant transplant they can also kill each other so make sure your plants are in their own container and water them about every 2 to 3 days with a cup of water per plant also when u transplant to outside make sure you introduce the plants to the sun dont just stick them out there put outside for an hour for a few days then 2 hours for a few days so on so forth you can use any kinda lights you want more lights means more energy it all depends on what ur doing ive done it all the way from a desk lamp to high wattage hps lights but yes they will grow with the lights u have just maybe not as fast/good as u want them 2
